Speaking about the dismissal, Shami bowled a short delivery to Gurbaz as the batte tried to pull it away towards the mid-wicket region. However, he could only manage a top edge which was safely held by Dayal despite colliding with the wicketkeeper Saha. The umpires had to refer the decision upstairs but the catch came out clean.
Earlier in the match, batter Vijay Shankar went absolutely berserk as the defending champions crossed the 200-run mark for the first time in IPL history. Enjoying a lot more (this season). Last year something was off. This year I came in after a lot of runs in domestic. Franchise retained me, showed confidence in me. Support staff has been helping me a lot since we started our camp here. Have been working really hard. It was tough,” said Shankar.
I got injured in World Cup. Didn’t do well in couple of IPL seasons. Very important for us to keep doing well at whatever level. If we keep doing well, playing for country will happen automatically. Want to thank trainers and physio at NCA, and also here. I had surgery after last IPL and was out for a few months, he added.
